The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) May 23 announced that it has finally marked 12.3 million Social Security number holders — folks whose birth dates peg them as over 120 years old — as deceased. That’s right, 12.3 million deceased recipients were listed as “alive” in the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) creaky, Constitution-insulting redistribution-of-wealth database. Some 124,130 of them were listed as between the ages of 160 and 169, making their birthday cakes rather…dangerous, of course.
The cleanup exposes not just bureaucratic incompetence but the rotten core of a system that’s been fleecing Americans for nearly a century – the core of a constitutionally dubious system mandated on Americans, falsely sold as a safety net, stuffed with IOUs, and acting as a financially and morally bankrupt Ponzi scheme from the very first year it paid out.
It started as a Marxist redistribution of wealth scheme that Franklin Delano Roosevelt strong-armed into existence and kept alive by threatening to subvert the very structure of the Supreme Court, and it has morphed into a “Pay Beyond Death” horror show.
